It feels good to know that there are still a few young people out there that are aware of the problems that still face us today, especially today, when there is such a high percentage of teenage pregnancies. I'm not Black, but I'm Asian, these are HUMAN issues, problems that affect us all.

WOW! What a video. Joshua, you're a good man, stay on the path that you're on and you will do great things.

You keep on what your doing. Im about to be a freshman and Im trying to make a last minute decision btwn Hampton U and Benedict (which was originally the plantation where my family was owned). This vid really helps in that decision so thanks. It also helps erase all doubts I had about whether or not this country is ready for a black president.

Obama 08!

Before I saw this in January 08, I was unsure if I was "political" enough to volunteer for a campaign. Like Josh, I'm just a young person who was previously apathetic. But after watching Josh & his friends give their time & energy, I felt like I should do something too.

I just wanted to say thanks. This video inspired me to "Roll up my sleeves and get to workin." After almost 4 months campaigning, and I am 100% certian that Obama inspires young people the way no politician has in decades.

Joshua's story is an amazing testimony and if you think that's something...Joshua will be attending HARVARD LAW SCHOOL on a FULL SCHOLARSHIP in the fall of 2008!

This is so inspiring. It sends out a positive message, not only to the young people, but to all age groups - We are our brothers and sisters keeper!

Thank you Josh for sharing your story with us. This is so inspiring and uplifting. This is what the campaign is all about. "WE THE PEOPLE" We can make the difference and remember what Senator Obama has always said. WE ARE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR" and if we work hard and support Senator Obama for President of these United States we can make this a better world for ALL of us.
